STATE OF TRADE.

The copious rain which fell on Tuesday
which is very general, If report be correct,
assures a good corn crop In the northwest.
From Illinois, Indiana and Missouri came re.
ports Of serious damage to the crop from
drought.
The July report Of the department of Agri-
culture reduced the June estimate OF the
spring wheat condition s per cent, and that
OF the winter wheat IL per cent. The crop
now promises to be about go, COO 600 bushels
less than the yield Of 1856, which was about c
medium average, or $50, OO, 900 bushels. The
July report represents the corn and cotton
crops In point OF acreage and condition COM
bined as surpsssing all previous crops In the
history OF American agriculture. SO that the
potential conditions OF agriculture In this
midsummer are most reassurjng a. TO the
magnitude OF the prospective wealth produc-
ton Of 1887, y umlsing nv e or trade and In
dustry than those OF any former year. A big
yield OF corn and cotton is In itself an assur.
ance OF plenty and comfort, and a guarantee
OF independence and wealth, at least under
ordinary conditions in finance and trade.
The course OF business Is particularly bare
of incidents, the excessive heat diminishing
the volume very materially. Notwithstanding
this the earnings OF most of the western
trunk lines show an increase during the
past week.
Credit is undoubtedly Improving anew, the
monetary situation has been more settled and
there have been no sensational disturbances.
Confidence seems to be urestored. President
Cable, OF the Rock Island, thinks the business
outlook Is excellent, though wild speculation
may cause disturb
On account of large foreign shipments OF
cattle, the price has declined to IL a1lLc
per pound dead weightin the London market.
The hog market in this country is slow and
pr!c9 IS In Chicago on the 10Th were SC lower.

A Murder in Page County, Iowa, I'm
earthed by a Canine.
DEs MONIES, July 2O.-The people around
Morsman, Page county, have been consider
ably worked up for some time over the disap
p~earanee Of q man from that neighborhood
nearly a year ago.. 1t appears that a man
named Letgett had two men working for him,
one OF them having and using a team Of his
own. The men were In the habit of quarrel
ling and lighting between themselves accord.
inb to the stories OF the neighbors. One
night one OF the neighbors heard them fight
Ing, but not wishing TO mix up In
the melee did not go near. From
that time the hired man has not been
seen, but the team and all his belongings
were at the place. On being asked what had
become Of the man, Lefgett said they had q
row and the man left. 1t was thought at
the time something was wrong, but nothing
was lone until a short time ago when II
neighbor living near by found his dog play.
Ing with an object one morning which, on
examination, resemtled a human scalp, and
scattered around the yard was hair that
looked like a man hair. The supposed scalp
and hair were taken to Hawkins, Mis-
souli, where physicians pronounced it
the S alp and hair OF a man. A few days
after this occurance the same dog brought To
his masters home a bone that Is supposed to be
a bone from the lower portion of a mans leg.
The matter was brought TO the notice of
Sheriff Skinner, who consulted with County
Attorney Stockton, the result being that on
Monday a warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of Hugh Taylor, the other man that was
working for Lctgett 1T the time OF this mans
disappearance. But there being no evidence
to warrant holding him, he was discharged.
The true state Of the matter bids fair to re.
main a mystery.

The recent cyclone still attracts gUOd

terday there were \ good many pilgrims
to Martins Ferry, while citizens of the

see something new every time. Of course
there were not as many strangers in
Martins Ferry yesterday as on the two
preceding days, but, nevertheless, the
streets in the wrecked portion of the town
were pretty well filled with unfamiliar
faces. Most of the buildings which were
not injured to a greater extent than the
loosing of roof have been gotten under
